the problem, so to speak, is -- and this is not at all unusual when it comes to stoner and the media -- lack of information.  with lack of information, the media will do what it does best.  and even level-headed folks like schwantz will at least acknowledge the possibility that whatever's going on is a little dubious.

yeah, i saw him in catalunya, unable to even get off the bike.  and he was only slightly better on subsequent rounds.  there's something wrong with the dude and it's not a broken ankle.  maybe it's some blood thing and he'll be out for good.  there's a million possibilities.

but if you're a GP racer, you're in the hunt for the championship, and you've got Philip Morris money behind you, at least issue a press release.  be humble.  say directly, i'm sorry, i have to do this, there's no other choice, i'll be back as soon as possible, i'm afraid i'm about to die, thank you so much to my team and sponsors, etc.  don't be coy about it.  ...or else they may give your bike away a week later.

Snipped this off another board (my quotes)

"...Stoner's family  basically sold the house and hedged everything they had on Casey's 
career in Europe. He's been racing hard since age 4, with nothing resembling a normal childhood..."

If true, the guy's probably ready to crack.  Some time off for a little fun wouldn't hurt.  I retract my earlier suggestion that he needs to join the Marines..

...i will keep my opinion about the military to myself....

Give the guy some time...hes 22
Old farts like Sete still do almost the same round time as a Rossi can..
I think there is much Stoner will show us.
And I am SOOOO happy Lorenzo did not join Ducati...I dont have to sell my bike yet  bacon

The Marines dont take intelligent people with a perception of life and love.

This is insulting to a lot of people.

+1

That is a complete and utter disrespect for the men that decide to join our armed services.  Its a wreckless generalization akin to the racism of past.

ok, folks.   Instead of locking this one I may do some pruning, but why don't we knock off the insults and discuss the racer.

ArguZ, let's try to not get threads in Racing and Trackdays locked by starting a pissing match with military members or families of same.

CASEY STONER, Ducati MotoGP Team (3rd in the championship on 150 points)
“After five extremely difficult races due to my health, I returned to Australia to visit the sports doctors who have looked after me for many years. We have taken the difficult decision not to contest the next three rounds of the championship, to allow my body time to recover from the recent stress. The doctors believe that during the Barcelona race I was suffering from a virus, and, that I subsequently pushed my body too hard, leading to problems that have caused my fatigue since then. The doctors are continuing with many tests to try to understand these problems and make sure it does not happen again. I have spoken with Ducati and thank them for their understanding at this time. I feel very sorry for the factory, my team, my sponsors and the fans and I am also disappointed because the bike in the last races has been very competitive. I will be doing everything possible to come back at full strength for Portugal.

That's great...

but if I was signing his check I'd want a face to face explanation before a public announcement. There doesn't seem to be any evidence that that happened.

Keep in mind I'm not a Casey hater.

The real reason Stoner is out of the spotlight, this video obtained of Stoner was so embarrassing he feigned sickness. Grin

Hopefully all this vacationing and fishing isn't stressing Stoner out too much.  Are Ducati/Marlboro still paying him during this time off?  I can see it now... "Stoner misses the big catch due to sabotaged fishing rod."
